8. Caring?
"But it's the first time you have ever hold her, Zayn." Harry looks at him straight in the eyes with tears running down his cheeks. Confused, Zayn just keeps looking at him.
"Wh-what are you saying? You're kidding me right?" Zayn chuckles nervously. This can't be true, right? He wouldn't do this to his own baby.
No, it doesn't sound like him at all. Harry has to be joking.
Unconsciously, he pulls Aleeza more close to his chest protectively.
She just giggles in return.
"No, I am not kidding you." Harry shakes his head furiously.
Maybe he shouldn't have done that, because the next moment he stumbles while holding his head. He holds the edge of the changing table to keep himself from falling while muttering a "Fuck.". Zayn gently places a giggling Aleeza in her cot before making his way towards Harry.
"God, Haz." Zayn mutters as he wraps an arm around Harry's waist and helps him stand properly.
"I'm okay." Harry says tiredly as he let his head fall on Zayn's shoulder. His eyes closing on his own.
"Yeah, yeah. I can see that." Zayn rolls his eyes. He walks them out of Aleeza's room to Harry's room and gently helps Harry sit on the bed.
"Now you'll sit here while I go bring you the soup. And you will finish every drop of it, got it?" Zayn looks at him sternly.
"Soup? But-but I didn't make any soup." Harry asks him while slowly laying down on his side. He feels so weak, he can't even sit properly.
"Yeah you didn't. I did. God, Haz, there's nothing in the kitchen. When was the last time you did grocery? Moreover, when was the last you ate Haz? You have become so weak." Zayn asks him softly yet sternly. Harry just gives him a tired smile.
"When your baby is hurting, when you know she's not okay, you forget to eat and every other thing in the world, Zayn."
Zayn's eyes soften at his words. He nods at him, giving him a understanding smile.
He now understands why Harry didn't come to see him and why he looks so weak. He needs rest, Zayn knows that and he's determined to give Harry that.
"I'll bring you the soup." And like that he's out of the room. After a minute or so, he brings Harry his soup and hands the bowl to him.
"Finish it, while I go check on Aleeza." Harry nods at him. Zayn smiles at him before going back to Aleeza's room.
"Hey Al." Zayn smiles down at the baby in the cot and gently picks her up in his arms.
"You feeling alright?" He whispers to her while craddling her gently. Aleeza just smiles in reply.
"You're so beautiful." He tells him while giving a kiss on her chubby cheeks whuch makes her giggle more.
"I wish, I remember how you looked when you were born." He smiles sadly.
"But now I am here. I'm never gonna let you out of my sight." He kisses his forehead again.
"Now Al, you're a good baby right?" Still cradling her, he asks her gently. She just smiles in response.
"Good girl. So now sleep okay? Good babies sleep at night." He smiles as he keeps om cradling her. Again, she just giggles.
After 15 minutes or so, Aleeza is asleep in Zayn's arms. Yes, his arms hurt but as he looks down at his daughter's sleeping face, all his pain goes away. He doesn't know if it's the first time him hding her, but even if it is, he doesn't want to let her go now.
He wants to be close to his daughter.
With Aleeza, still in his arms, Zayn gently pads down to Harry's room. Only to find an empty bowl on the bedside table and an asleep Harry on the bed. He looks cute, Zayn thinks. Bundled up in the blankets and snoring softly.
He still snores Zayn smiles and shakes his head. He thinks about the sleepovers they used to have when they were kids.
He looks at the time on his watch only to find it's already 10 P.M.
God, time moves so fast. He thinks to himself.
He doesn't know if he should leave or stay. He know he needs to leave but then he looks at both Harry and Aleeza.
They need you His heart says.
So for the second time of the day, Zayn goes with his heart.
He gently places Aleeza beside Harry, in the middle of the bed since he doesn't know when will she wake up again. He doesn't want to take any chances in case he won't hear her cries.
He then shrugs off his leather jacket that he was wearing and places it on the chair that is in front of Harry's study table.
Suddenly he remembers what he had planned earlier, so he fetch out his ohone from the pocket and quickly creates a group on WhatsApp, including Liam, Niall and Louis.
Zayn: I need your help. You guys gotta do some grocery shopping tomorrow and bring it to Harry's place. This guy seriously need to take care of himself.
He get the replies almost instantly.
Liam: Um, sure. Everything's okay? Louis told me you asked him Harry's address?
Niall: I am always up for Grocery. Leeyum!!!! You gotta get me that new edition of Kit-Kat.
Louis: God Niall, why you're always so hungry? Ugh!!! But anywhore, yes we'll be there in the morning, Zayn. And you gotta tell me everything, mate. Take care.
Zayn: Thanks, lads. Goodnight.
He closes the app then places the phone on the table.
He is about to take off his t-shirt when he remembers that he doesn't have any night clothes. He doesn't want to wake Harry up to ask for the clothes either. So he shrugs and get on the right side of the bed since the left is taken by Harry.
He can manage one night in jeans and t-shirt.
He slowly lays down beside Aleeza and pulls the blanket over them so that, the three of them are now in one blanket.
He gently pulls Aleeza close to him. She instantly cuddles into his chest which makes Zayn smile. He then looks at Harry who is facing them and still snoring softly, meaning he is in deep sleep.
He smiles at how cute Harry looks, then shakes his head.
He softly sighs as he keeps rubbing Aleeza's back softly.
If this was his life before he lost his memory, he is sad to forget such a beautiful life of his.
